“Students and families understand the value in a Southeastern education,” said Southeastern President William S.

“A strategic initiative of our state is to better prepare high school students for college by earning college credit while still in high school,” Wainwright explained. “Southeastern continues to lead in this area in alignment with the Board of Regents’ Master Plan for Louisiana.”
